Navigating totally wrong and long way (set to short distance)
  • Vote Up0Vote Down f19ajwf19ajw


    Why is this routing wrong...   

    Come out of drive..
    Cross over road through gap and turn right onto destination...

    Oh no...  Turn left
    Go nearly a mile out of the way to end up 150 yards to the right on the route to destination.


    Example of mapping (green line indicates wrongly planned route)

    To check database, we need coordinates or Country, Town and Street as Tomas said. Al we can guess at the moment is a country with lefthand driving.

    Hi Tomas...  Everything was default from installation.  What would require changing in I assume
    Vehicle Profile/CAR.

    All I see in there is speed related restrictions and Vehicle type which is set to Car.

    Thanks, AJW

    Hi Tomas... wow.. that fixed it. Was was the issue??

    I assume some routings would have been effected because of that issue.

    Edited.... Not fixed

    your vehicle settings, not sure what you changed, but vehicle_profiles.xml is backed up, so you could examine it

    Hi Tomas... nope... doing same again.

    Reset as your guide... Did no changes and navigated using the provided details and worked. Then went into setting and came out without changing anything and it reverted back to the navigation issue. Definitely something wrong somewhere.

    well, I repeated exctly your two steps and get turn right

    the only possible answer is that you do not delete vehicle_profiles.xml
    close Navigator and delete that file manually - folder android/data/com.mapfactor.navigator/files/navigator/
  • Vote Up0Vote Down f19ajwf19ajw
    Did as you suggested.  Deleted all the XML files apart from vehicle_profiles.xml.
    Still same issue.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tomastomas
    vehicle_profiles.xml is the one you have to delete :-)
